~ Note from the author ~ I'm not really sure how many people are reading
this story, or what they think about it. The reviews I do get are good, but
I'm lucky to get two a chapter. If you could let me know, what you think, I
would appreciate it. Prevent censorship, read!
** The Story ** Leah walked down the stairs she already had her coat, hat, and gloves on. She slipped out of her room and crept down the stairs. She carefully opened the front door, making sure it didn't squeak to loudly. If her parents heard her, she'd be dead.
The walk to Horizon wasn't so bad, despite the temperature. She waited a small clearing for Ethan.
"Hey!" His voice finally broke the silence.
She walked over to him, and the pair kissed.
"What do you need to talk to me about?" Ethan asked.
"It's a long story, but you're the only one I can trust with it right now." Leah told him.
"All right tell me," he said.
"I found an envelope on my dad's desk at home. It had a bunch of papers in it. Two of them were Ivy's and my birth certificates. The names on the birth certificate were not Leah and Ivy." Leah paused.
"What were the names?" Ethan asked.
"Lena Noelle and Eve Joy." Leah told him.
"So your name was Lena, Lena Leah their close," Ethan said.
"Actually no. I'm older than Ivy. Whoever is Lena was born after whoever is Eve," Leah explained.
"That's weird," Ethan said.
"Here is the thing. I found out the name of the hospital where we were born. I did some research, and I found out we were born in Cleveland, Ohio." Leah told him.
"So you were born in Cleveland. What's your point?" Ethan asked.
"Ethan, I found out my biological parents had other kids!" Leah exclaimed.
"Are you going to tell Ivy?" Ethan asked.
"No, well you're going to tell her," Leah said.
"No way, I'm not telling Ivy what you did." Ethan stated.
"Why not?" She demanded.
"Don't you think going behind your parents back is wrong? If you wanted to find your biological parents, why didn't you just ask your parents for help?" Ethan asked.
"You are not even trying to lecture me about my life. I'm supposed to take advice from someone who goes to a school for rejects? I don't think so." Leah shouted.
"Shut up, someone is going to hear you. Leah, I thought you liked me for who I am not who I used to be. I guess I was wrong." Ethan said, with disappointment in his voice.
"Ethan, I'm sorry it's just you don't understand. I want to do something for myself. I don't always want my parents help. I didn't mean what I said before," Leah pleaded.
"Is asking for help such a bad thing?" He asked her.
"Not always, but this is different. I just have a feeling." Leah told him.
"A feeling?" Ethan questioned.
"A feeling, that someone is trying to find me someone who needs me," Leah said.
Ethan looked at his watch. "Maybe it's your dad Leah. We've been out here for over an hour," he said.
"Crap!" Leah said.
"Crap is a pretty accurate term." A male voiced answer.
"What are you two doing out here?" Rob demanded. "Do you realize what time it is?"
Ethan looked at his watch again. "3:32." He answered.
"I come across you two alone in the woods. Am I supposed to think, that you both happened to be taking a walk and bumped into each other?" Rob asked.
"No, but we were just talking," Leah said.
"Ivy, I really don't think you should be getting into to trouble at this point in time," Rob said.
Leah froze. "He thinks that I'm Ivy," she says to herself.
"Ethan, I thought you were more responsible than this. It is really late. I will deal with your punishments in the morning. I think you might have to have a little chat with Peter too." Rob lectured. "Now I'm walking you back to your dorms."
When they reached the girls' dorm. Leah went inside. She looked around until she found Ivy. She shook her sister.
Ivy awoke to see Leah kneeling by her bed.
"What are you doing here?" Ivy asked.
"I was talking with Ethan and Rob caught us. Well, he thinks he found Ethan and you," Leah said.
"Ivy, please?" Leah asked.
"You don't even have to ask. Just tell me what happened so I know the story." Ivy told her.
"Ethan and I were talking in the clearing. Rob must have heard us, and he starting babbling about how you and Ethan should know better," Leah said.
"Fine. You better get home, before Mom and Dad wake up." Ivy told her sister.
"See ya," Leah said. "You have a lot to tell me later. Don't think you're getting out of letting me in on this one," Ivy said.
"I have more to say than you think," Leah said.
